When we moved, I boxed up all the cleaning products we don't use any more (a combination of having a cleaning crew twice a month and realizing we had accumulated a ton of random bottles) and Will brought them down to the basement. If we realize there's something we need, we'll bring it upstairs, but in a few months, I'm planning to leave them on the curb with a big FREE sign. I don't want to rid the house of cleaning products entirely (sometimes a girl has to clean between cleaning crew days!), but I also don't want to use those harsh chemicals. What's a girl to do?

Like the powder products that Bon Ami is known for, the new liquid line of products uses the same toxin-free approach making the products biodegradable and hypoallergenic. They smell good. And they seriously work, you guys. I used the All Purpose Cleaner to get some seriously nasty burned on Idon'tevenknowwhat off my stove, and I only needed my Mr. Clean Magic Eraser for some tiny spots. And let's be honest, if I had been more patient and let it sit, or um, I don't know, used the Powder Cleanser, I wouldn't have used Mr. Clean at all.
A little blurb from the good folks at Bon Ami:
HOLY WOW!
For every good meal, a messy kitchen is born. Grease lingers on the stove top, flour clings to countertops and that sink that was once shining and clean is filled with dishes. Whether or not you like to clean, it’s always part of the cooking process. But it shouldn’t be painful. Chances are you are careful about the kinds of food you bring into your kitchen, so why not be as careful about the way you clean your kitchen. All dishes should start in a toxin-free kitchen.

Awful messes usually involve food in an already been eaten state. :/
ReplyDeleteI retweeted your tweet today! :P
ReplyDeleteWell...our dog ate a flip flop that we saw again two weeks later...the most disgusting, vile thing I've ever seen come out of a stomach.
ReplyDeleteBack in the olden days, before we had Theo, I was walking Valentine in our old Hollywood neighborhood, while having a chat on my cell phone. A homeless man walked up to me and said, "Hey lady! Hang up the phone. Your dog's eating shit." Whaaa? I looked down and sure enough, Valentine was wolfing up an enormous pile of squishy yellowish-brownish poo. Worse even, was knowing exactly who's poo it was. It was Crapping Karen's poo. Crapping Karen was a crotchety, mean, always strung-out and screaming obscenities homeless woman who lived in our neighborhood and took her morning constitution on our front lawn every single God-loving day. So not only was Valentine eating poo, but she was eating human poo. Human drug-addicted homeless lady poo.
ReplyDeleteYou think that's bad? I'm not done yet. After I jerked Valentine away from the poo, I had to bring her inside my house where I had to clean the yellowish-brownish poo off her face, where it was caked all over her pretty little puppy mouth. I used rubbing alcohol.
But wait! There's more! About an hour later, Valentine vomited yellowish-brownish drug-addicted homeless lady poo all over the living room carpet. It smelled just like Crapping Karen had just taken a shit on in our house. In our living room. On the carpet. Very close to the kitchen. Where we prepared meals.
And guess who had to scrub it out of the carpet? ME. While Valentine sat near by and belched mean, drug-addicted, homeless farts at me.
I win.

ReplyDeleteI tweeted about your giveaway. (And now I sound like a Bon Ami bot.)
ReplyDeleteOMG, I can't compete with Patricia's poo story. EWWWWW.
ReplyDeleteThe messes I hate cleaning up always inevitably contain bacon grease and dogs. Not good.
I don't know if it's truly awful, but I JUST spent an hour magic erasing the upstairs bath tub and I still don't feel good about how clean it is. :/
ReplyDeleteHooray for days off!
I was probably going to post about stepping in cold, wet cat hairball on my beautiful, William Morris-inspired area rug, but if you're "judging," rather than "randomly selecting," I've no chance against the revolting story told be Patricia. Good work, that.
ReplyDeleteMy son as a young teenager got drunk with a overnight friend. When I found them walking up the road, (well not walking straight), I knew the problem and took the friend straight home. My son in the car got got sick and sick again from the car to the shower. I made him clean up the mess before he could go to bed and showed no mercy. Moral of the story - He never got drunk around me again.
ReplyDeleteThe most awful mess I had to clean up was on a Thanksgiving day one year, my husband, the chef for the day, had a little too much to drink and he was attempting to maneuver the biggest turkey known to man out of our oven. After swerving to and fro with the roasting pan, the turkey skidded across the kitchen floor and so did all those drippings...OH, what a huge and greasy mess I had to clean on my "holiday" it took me hours.
ReplyDeleteHave used the original Bon Ami for years, have not tried their new products , and never heard of that cake block either. Would really like to try it! I like it on facebook, and also shared the link.

ReplyDeleteBut seriously, anyone who lives near someone called "Crapping Karen" just can't be beat on this one. Not even when my crazy cat gave birth under our couch on our white, wool carpet (whose idea was THAT anyway?) and then dragged one across the room and ate it! Later, she puked the poor baby up under the Christmas tree. And, yes, we could recognize some parts. Yuk! But Crapping Karen beats even that, I have to say!
ReplyDeleteI live with a 6-year old boy. So, yeah.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest mess? Well, right now, we have mice in the house so we are setting traps and disposing of dead mice and mice poop. Can I win by pity?
ReplyDeleteDog vomiting up her own poop. All over. ALL OVER.
ReplyDeleteMy life. It's always a mess. lol
ReplyDeleteYour cat ate it's baby and then vomited it up under the Christmas tree. Best Most Horrible Story Ever. Totally beats my Crapping Karen story.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, all y'all had some of the grossest stories I've ever heard. I told the stories to some girlfriends the other night and we ended up talking about vomit for about half an hour. In a hilarious way.
ReplyDeleteWell written article.I appreciate your writing skills.I really like the concept of this post and I feel that this is a very unique and rare information that you have managed to compile. Its great.You have done a great job by sharing this post with us.I like this post.Keep sharing with us in future too.
ReplyDeleteConstant use and
ReplyDeleteaccumulation of dirt can cause discoloration and damages the form. If something
is spilled on the carpet, it's best to clean it right away to avoid stains and
bacteria to pile up on its surface. Since the carpet can hide all sorts of
dirt, you shouldn't make it habit to clean it until it gets really dirty
because, by then, the damage is already done. Nevertheless, regular cleaning
can freshen up the fabric and make it look neat.
Ok. How about a chihuahua giving birth, eating the afterbirth and shortly after, and then expelling it from the rear all over my bedroom. Where she of course had decided upon going into labor to let her water break on my bed. (WORST SMELL EVER)
ReplyDelete"I've been saying I'm going to start using non-toxic cleaning products." - toxic cleaning products are like an oxymoron. What's the point of using cleaning products that renders the thing hazardous.
